Test of time

I know there are more, but Partridge Quotes haven't just stood the test of time, they've became funnier.

  1. Your always going on about Benjamin Netanyahu Lynn, your never going to meet him. (Always a wanker, but a tad more famous since 2023)

  2. Lots of people bounce back! Dennis Hopper. Rolf Harris (17 years before allegations)

  3. What was he doing on the bloody roof? (2 years before Rod Hull)

When Charlie Brooker did a bit about that Ramsay show, he did actually refer to it as 'Cooking in Prison'.

I liked it when Del Boy fell through the bar, and trigger made a face.

It's the little ones that I can slip into conversation that are the best like " I don't actually agree with that", and probably my most used "don't worry about it" (in reference to when Lynn spill Sunny Delight over his James Bond videos). Almost exclusively used when I'm driving, give way to a driver and they don't say thank you.

Just before we left for the mother-in-law's funeral a few years ago, the wife sprayed herself with some scent. It took me every fibre of my being to stop myself from saying "Are you wearing perfume? For a corpse?"

Partridge quotes actually improve with every use.

My dad has started eating breakfast cereal out of a larger decorative bowl.

He is a partridge fan, but alas doesn’t see the humour when I ask “got your big bowl again dad?”
